<h2>Sending and receiving messages using Email
Archive</h2>
<p>The Email Archive gives your <a href="content.hlp?docId=ardt">course site</a> or <a href="content.hlp?docId=ardt">project
site</a> its own email address that participants can use for
communicating with each other. When you first access the site, if you
do not see the tool <strong><code>Email Archive</code></strong> on the <a href="content.hlp?docId=arcc">menubar</a>,
you will need to add it. For instructions, see <a href="content.hlp?docId=ardl">Adding Email Archive to your site</a>.</p>



<h3>Sending messages</h3>

<p>You can send messages to your site's participants from your email
account with your preferred email client (e.g.,
Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora,
Mac OS X Mail, or Thunderbird). All messages
will be stored in the Email Archive and visible to all
participants. To view your site's email address, in the menubar, click
<strong><code>Email Archive</code></strong>. For more information, see <a href="content.hlp?docId=arew">Sending mail to site participants via Email Archive</a>.</p>

<p><strong>Note:</strong> Messages sent to the site's email address
will go to all participants (i.e., you can't send email to individual
participants using Email Archive). To send messages to individuals,
use the Message Center tool; see the "Sending a private message"
section in <a href="content.hlp?docId=asyy">Posting and responding to Forum messages</a>.</p>

<h3>Receiving messages</h3> 

<p>Messages are sent to the email address in your profile. You do not
need to log into the application to read your mail. However, if you do
not wish to receive mail from the site, or if you'd rather receive
mail in a daily digest format, you can change your notification
preferences from your <a href="content.hlp?docId=aqzy">My Workspace</a>. For instructions, see
<a href="content.hlp?docId=aqzv">Changing notification preferences</a>.</p>
